Anna stood their speechless while Sly held a ring in one hand and took Anna's hand in the other. She did not expect this, and did not know how to react. Sly looked at her and said, " Anna did you hear me my love?" Anna began to cry and she turned around. Sly can closer towards her , " What is wrong Anna don't you love me?" Anna looked at him and said, " Yes I do love you. You know I do but.." He sighed, " But what Anna ." She was about to answer then she hear Margaret scream , " Oh no ! My sister is in trouble!" They rushed to see what happened and they bumped into Sam. Sly asked, " Sam we heard Margaret screaming what is happening ?" Sam was heavily breathing , "We were standing too close to the river and she fell off and I came to look for the both of you so we can all help her." Anna screamed , " What are we waiting for come on then ? Let us help my sister."

They rushed quickly to the river side where Sam told them they were and couldn't find her. Anna shouted, " Sam you said you left her her where is she then?'' Sam began to panic , " I left her on this side of the river and she was holding the log." Sly looked around and did not find the log . " It must have broken from the strong stream flow." Anna suggested , " Let us follow the direction of the stream and look for her." They all yelled Margaret's name. " Margaret where are you ? Can you hear us?"

They ran next to stream looking for her , Anna heard Sly say, " Over here! I found her." Anna rushed to see her sister's unconscious body lying on a log. Sam jumped inside the stream and swam to get her, he reached and held Margaret on his back but he needed help to swim faster because right next to where Sam and Margaret were ,there was a huge waterfall. Anna patted on Sly's shoulders, " Sly look up!" Pointing at the direction of the water fall. Sly yelled to his brother, " Sam be careful there is a huge waterfall coming towards you!" Sam quickly swam and took Margaret out of the way and then he carried her out side the stream. Anna cried, " Is she ok?" Sam could not hear her breathing , he gave her mouth to mouth resuscitation. Anna and Sly held hand praying for Margaret to come back to them .Then they heard her coughing. Anna rushed to her side and hugged her sister, " Oh thank goodness! Margaret you came back to us." Anna told Sam. " Thank you Sam for saving my sister." Margaret looked at him and smiled. Then they took her home to the castle.

After Margaret felt better she asked Anna to tell Sam to come and see her. She went out of her room and rushed to find Sam. Sam and Sly were outside waiting for to hear about Margaret. Sly told his brother, " Margaret was so lucky that she had you to save her Sam!" Sam agreed, " I was happy I was there to help . I have to tell you Sly when she accidentally fell inside the river, my heart stopped I was so worried that she wouldn't make it after i had just confessed to her That I liked her a lot.." Sly interrupted his brother, " You what ?"

Sam smiled, " Yes Sly I like Margaret and I want to ask her to court me. Oh by the way brother tell me what happened between you and Anna?" Sly was about answer his brother's question then he saw Anna coming towards them, Sly asked Anna." How is Margaret?" Anna replied, " Thank god she is ok and she is improving rapidly." Anna turned towards Sam and said, " Sam she asked to talk to you." Sam excused himself and went to see Margaret. In her room Sam rushed to her side and hugged, " How are you feeling?" Margaret softly said, " Better now that you are here?' Sam was worried, " I thought I lost you Margaret." Margaret smiled at him ." You didn't lose me silly you saved me." She smiled at her and laughed, " Thank god I did."

Sly and Anna were out side in the garden in silence, then Anna broke the silence , " I want to thank you for saving my sister's life. I wouldn't bear to think what would have happen if you weren't there." Sly looked into her eyes and said, " Anna I will always be there for you when ever you need me." Anna asked him, " Even if I wanted to do things that you might not agree with." Sly said, " Anna I want you to do things you love to do and don't be afraid to show it , like loving animals and your dream of becoming a vet." Anna was shocked by what Sly said, " You mean you wouldn't mind marrying me if I wanted to pursue my career" Sly replied, " Oh course I would encourage it because I know it will make you happy and content." Anna was glad to hear Sly say that. " Oh then where is the ring?" Sly was overjoyed, " You mean you want.."Anna interrupted him, " Yes Sly I would be happy to be your wife." Sly took the ring out of his pocket and slipped it through her finger and afterwards they kissed.
